Is there a specific personality type that likes to sit within the opposing sideline?
Two instances this past weekend.
1. Mom with a camera sitting with our parents (Our team was on the west end of the field. Other team on the east). I didn't recognize her, so I asked which kid on our team was hers. She said "it's the keeper on the other team." I thought it was interesting that she'd want to be sitting around us. She was pleasant and calm. So were our parents (I think). I don't recall if she switched sides at halftime to be able to see her daughter in goal better.
2. Husband and wife mixed in with our sideline. It was obvious they were with the other team due to their constant yelling/cheering opposite of what our parents were doing. Overheard them say "I dont recognize anyone of our parents. We're on the wrong half of the field." They didn't move. I think their kid was playing forward/winger and they wanted to get closer to their daughter. I don't mind a vocal parent, but to cheer for your team when scoring a goal while sitting within the other team is weird at best and rude at worst. They moved back to their sideline at halftime.
